Grimrock

* Go with the standard 2 x Fighter 1 x Rogue 1 x Mage setup
* Spec up both fighters in unarmed combat to eliminate the need to pick up melee weapons
* Spec up the rogue with throwing weapons
* Spec up the mage with fire magic (use fireburst often)
* Take a few trial runs to learn the map layout and the location of all the items, mobs and switches
* Only pick up the items you need
* Use a stopwatch to time each run

There is one particular section with snails and some pressure plates. We saved some time by making sure the pressure plates were held down with items so that the portcullis did not close as we walked through it. This saved having to click an extra switch to open it back up again.

Some good fortune is required, especially in the herder room.

Good luck!
